Unfortunately, as soon as release_sock(newsk) is done, incoming
packets can be fed to the socket,
and completely change memory usage of the socket.

For example, the whole queue might have been zapped, or collapsed, if
we receive a RST packet,
or if memory pressure asks us to prune the out of order queue.

So you might charge something, then never uncharge it, since at
close() time the socket will have zero bytes to uncharge.
